For Visa

IHS Fee

TB Fee
N57,800

You are all paying the same amount

Yes? Dependant can apply for study in canada from UK?

AlphaUno:




That you are someone's dependant in UK doesn't mean you can't a lot within UK itself, talkless of another sovereign country.

So, Yes you can be the main applicant to Canada ��

Meaning a dependent can apply for student visa to canada while in UK...

AlphaUno:




Come back to 9ja to do what again?

Applying from outside 9ja to other countries for an ordinary visiting visa is like ABC, not to talk of other routes.
So, you good to go!

Good morning fellow gallant officers.
I hope our night was fun, sure for me.
I wanna use this medium to clear the air pertaining the current and PFA brouhaha. My sources categrically told me that they don't think they will be sms/email notifications this time. And that we are going to open current and PFA too. You can't enroll in IPPIS platform without APL as certain vital infos are goan be retrieved from it such as service number, department, date of employment and rank as well. Go with recent ports not less than 8. And go with your whites in case of necessity. Your original documents for sighting and writing materials are highly needed cos you might need to fill somethins your self just like I filled my own forms during documentation. Have a nice day officers

Full list

Let keep calm and believe we are all taken..

I have done the summation of the released 15 states, the total is 2088 and the board is employing 7000+, leaving the remaining number above 5000+. From my calculation here, the remaining 22 states including the FCT will cover the remaining figure, in fact it's even much, let's assume they employ 200 in the remaining 22 states, which is 4400 which is still giving us 1000+ left, even if kano is given 500 slot here, there would still be remainder.

I strongly believe the released numbers are those who documented.

Congratulations to us all and tay positive.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AS A CORRECETIONAL OFFICER
Following the g into law of the Nigerian Correctional Service Act 2019 by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, which expunged the use of the term “prison” for “corrections,” I have no option than to amend the title of this weekly piece to conform to the new trend. Hence, forthwith, this weekly piece shall be titled “What You Need To Know As A Correctional Officer.”
Having said that, this first edition under the new regime will dwell solely on the Nigerian Correctional Service Act 2019 and how it benefits the penal system in particular, and the criminal justice system in general. A lot have been said about the Act, with many staff skeptical about what the Act holds for them. I hope that this piece will settle the unsettled minds of staffers who see this new development as just a “mere change of name.” Enjoy!
1. The Nigerian Prisons and Correctional Services Bill was first presented and read in the Senate in January 2008 by a former senator and current chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Victor Ndoma-Egba, in the sixth assembly. The bill was read for the second time in April 2010. But the bill could not the third reading during the 6th Assembly.
2. The Nigerian Correctional Service Bill 2016 (now Act 2019) was resurrected by the 7thAssembly and was first read in the National Assembly on the 26th of May, 2016. It was sponsored by Senator Andy Uba, a senator who represented Anambra South Senatorial zone in the Nigerian senate. Senator Uba was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior in the 7th Assembly.
3. The Bill ed second reading on the 26th of October, 2016, while the third reading and final age of it was on 20th December, 2018 after inputs were made by stakeholders comprising of prison officials, judiciary, non-governmental organisations and so on.
4. In April 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari refused assenting to the Bill citing that Section 44 (d) of the bill which seeks to fund the special non-custodial fund with five percent of all fines paid to the federal purse violates the provisions of Sections 81 and 84 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which guarantee the independence of the Judiciary.
5. Following the rejection of it by the President, lawmakers went into action and amended it in May, 2019. And on 14th of August, 2019, the President finally assented to it.
6. The Nigerian Correctional Service Act 2019 replaces the Prison Act CAP P29 LFN 2004. The Act changed the “Nigerian Prisons Service” to the “Nigerian Correctional Service” to reflect current trends in global penal istration.
7. The Act stipulates that the Nigerian Correctional Service will have two (2) faculties: the Nigerian Custodial Service, and the Nigerian Non-custodial Service. The Custodial Service will among other things, take control of persons legally interned in safe, secure and humane conditions and provide to facilitate the speedy disposal of cases of persons awaiting trial. The Non-custodial Service will be responsible for the istration of non-custodial measures like community service, probation, parole, restorative justice measures and such other measures as a court of competent jurisdiction may order.
8. The Act provides that the State Controller of Prisons (now State Controller of Correctional Service) in consultation with the Prison Superintendent (now Custodial Superintendent) shall have the power to reject more in-take of prisoners where it is apparent that the prison in question is filled to capacity. This addresses the issue of over-crowding which has been a cankerworm bugging our prison system.
9. Section 12 (2) (c) of the Act provides that where an inmate sentenced to death has exhausted all legal procedures for appeal and a period of 10 years has elapsed without execution of the sentence, the Chief Judge may commute the sentence of death to life imprisonment.
10. The Nigerian Correctional Service Act 2019 also provides increased funding for the Service for better welfare of staff and inmates. The Act provides that the service retains a percentage of what it generates as well as a special non-custodial fund, in addition to budgetary provision to work with. This will improve the fortunes of the staff and inmates.
11. The Act expands the management of the Service. The Service will now have eight ( Deputy Controller Generals. The Act provides for the following Directorates: Finance and s, Inmates Training and Productivity, Human Resources, Works and Logistics, Health and Welfare, Training and Staff Development, Operations, and Non-Custodial Services.
12. The Act provides that the Staff College in Kaduna and the Academy in Ijebu-Igbo shall be upgraded to degree awarding Institutions in Penal istration and other related course.
13. The Act stipulates that correctional staff on training shall be provided with accommodation, feeding, transport allowance, and other allowances as prescribed in the Public Service Rules.
14. The Act establishes the Correctional Officers Reward Fund (CORF) which shall be used to reward correctional officers for extra or special services such as gallantry, long or meritorious services
15. The Act also provides a hazard allowance for officers deployed to serve in high risk operations or difficult environments. It provides that officers who suffer from serious bodily injury or who die in the line of duty shall have their children’s school fees paid for one year with the possibility of an extension for a few months.
16. The Act provides for the formation of the National Committee on Non-Custodial Measures which shall oversee the smooth implementation of the non-custodial measure. The committee shall comprise of the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, the Deputy Controller General in-charge of non-custodial service, a retired high court judge, directors from justice, youth and sports ministries, representatives of NGO working in relevant sectors, the Inspector General of Police and so on.
17. At the state levels too, the Act empowers the Controller General to set the States and FCT committees which shall align with those of the National Committee on Non-Custodial Measures.
18. A parole board shall be constituted by Controller General in all states and the FCT. The Parole board shall supervise parolees, ensure their rehabilitation, and ister designated parole facilities.
19. Probation services which shall be istered by the Nigerian Non-Custodial Service has the mandate of producing pre-sentencing reports, supervision of convicts on probation order, production of pre-release report to facilitate reintegration of the offender and provision of other services.
20. The Act also empowers correctional officer to monitor and supervise restorative justice measures such as victim-offender mediation, family group conferencing and community mediation. This is to ensure healing and proper reintegration of the offender as well as restitution for the victims.
21. Hence, under this Act, the duties of the correctional officer have been expanded. It is no longer restricted to the four walls, but has been expanded to engage with the outside society. Therefore, the correctional officer will be more visible this time around in the communities.
22. Two heads of the prison/correctional service have made history. The first is J.O. Lilly Ojo who became the last Director of Prisons as well as the first Controller General of Prisons; and the second, Ja’afaru Ahmed, who became the last Controller General of Prisons and now the first Controller General of Correctional Service.

This is all I have for you this week.

This is congratulating the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, superior officers, senior officers and men of the service for this feat! Special gratitude to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the National Assembly, and other people who worked to see to the success of this Act.

God bless you all!

This edition is dedicated to all serving and retired correctional officers who were part of the drafting committee of the bill most especially, Dr. Ifediorah Orakwe (Rtd), ACG Ekijere Aken Shidi (Rtd) and PIP Ernest Chigbogu.

BREAKING: Buhari Signs Nigeria Correctional Services Bill Into Law
Channels Television  
Updated August 14, 2019
363

President Muhammadu Buhari
 

President Muhammadu Buhari has assented to the Nigeria Correctional Services Bill which repeals the Nigerian Prisons Service, changing the name to Nigeria Correctional Service.

Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly Matters, Senator Ita Enang, told journalists that the Nigeria Correctional Service is made up of two faculties: the Custodial and Non- Custodial Service.

According to him, the non-custodial is intended for reformation allowing for community services as punishment so not every offence would attract a prison sentence.

Details later…

Hmmm.... Good morning great minds. There's no way 30 people will be here and expect them to reason in the same way. We must see things differently.

To start with, i say congratulations to those that have successfully done their documentations at various documentation centres all over the country. Those ones that have succeeded in doing their documentation are the ones on the merit category but on one condition; the documents you ed during your application online must be the same with the ones you submitted for documentation. If this condition is meant, start preparing yourself for camping.

Also, this is Nigeria and oga at the top will always have their ways in the current setting Nigeria operates. No doubt about it, some persons will still be added to the general list. You can't do any about it so far the names in the names on the merit list remain.

Finally, most of the ogas at top are always interested in the officer cadre, that's why those shortlisted for ASP 1 and 2 are few. What we all need do is to pray so as to get to the promised land. I repeat, nobody will remove your unjustly.

Merit list and oga at the top list will both meet at the camp. See you there soon!✌�

Congratulations to all of us once again.

Any updatea
